There was a PD version posted on net.micro.atari a few weeks ago.
Both uuencode and uudecode were posted in the same posting.  They compile
ok on practically anything (code is pretty much vanilla C), with a few minor
modifications for OS file I/O.

I don't know whether the original poster also sent it to net.sources or not.
I believe he was unable to access net.sources.  I have a copy, but cannot
access net.sources either.  If it has expired, and there is enough demand,
I could post it to net.micro.
